Hello, I love this community, but I can't stand it that so many posts don't feature the year that the artwork was made. That's such important information, just to place that piece of art in context. Maybe it can be made a requirement to include the year? What do you think?

I like seeing that information for the context, especially when a piece feels modern but is from a period I would not have expected.

That said, I'm in favor of lowering the barrier of entry to adding content to communities on lemmy rather than raising it. I wouldn't want someone to not share art on here because they don't know that info.

Yes, I second that!
